q quarter of century.
In some European States, persons attain
great age. In Prussia 5000 persons are
over ninety years of age, 600 Of whom ex-
eelled 100 years. Emperor WILLIAM has
passed his ninetieth year and has
prospects of passing his centennial.
Qaakers in Great Britain and Ireland
present some interesting statistics Of lon
gevity. Among 229 who died last year,
10 were between 80 and 100 years, 60 be-
tween SOand 80 years, "a between 20 and
80 years, and so between so and 20 years.
A very long list of historic characters
who did much work after So years might
be given, and it is urged that no man
should be called old before 65. CHARLES
DARWIN worked until his death at 70,
HANDEL, FREDERICK tbs Great and DIR.
JESNER were active in measure until
they died at "A; DIsRAELI died in active
life It n; CALLED and CORNEILLE at 70;
HARVEY and ROBERT STEVENSON at 10;
PLATO, WORDSWORTH, KANT, THEIRS at
80; BUFFoN, Coke, PALMERsToN, at 81;
WELLINGTON, GOETHE, HUGO, at 90; VOL
TAIRE, TALLEYRAND, HERsCHEL, at 81;
CARO-, NEWTON, FRANKLIN, BENTHAM,
at 50, HALEY and CARLYLE at So; JOHN
WESLEY at 80; MyC-aEL ANGELO at 80;
SoPHocLEs at 80, TITAN at SO and FoN-
TENELLE at 100. Any number of addi-
tions might be made, YOS MoLTKE is So,
BISMARCK is II, GREvY is so, and GLAD
STONE is a..
While these men were engaged in active
work in their old age, all old men could
not do this. While it is best to be occupied
with some work that is ofinterest, the tenn
permanent of the individual must determine
the kind and quantity Of work. The hard
work on which q BISMARCK or GLADSTONE
thriyes would kill other men who might
live to 4 great age if they had freed their
minds from some of the cares and anxietles
of life. Every few days we read of men
broken down in theprime OF life under the
great pressure of business cares, and dying
ong before their time.
